Pros

The pack fits great and will feel comfortable. It has more than enough room to carry almost anything you need and more.

The hydration bladder is great for any outdoor trip, but can take a little while to figure out.

There is a velcro piece inside the backpack that rips away so you can feed the water tube out without exposing the contents of the bag to the elements.

It’s a very good quality bag for this price range.

The water proof cover will easily hold up in the snow and rain.

Cons

Some customers have commented that there are too many straps and can’t figure out what some of the straps are for.

Customer Reviews

Many customers would recommend the backpack to others as note that the Teton Sports Fox 5200 is a great backpack for beginners, with loads of great features at a reasonable price. The pack is built from quality materials and has great weight distribution.

You can use this backpack on a 2- 4 day backpacking trip without any issues. When you are packing a lot of gear for your trip you will find that the straps are well designed keeping the load balanced whilst you hike. The sleeping bag compartment is really easy access.

“I highly recommend this bag for anyone who doesn’t yet have the equipment to pack lighter for backpacking trips. It’s a fairly heavy bag, but it’s built so well, it’s really esy to carry. Perfect for beginning backpackers. Probably a good one for highly experienced backpackers going on really long trips. NOT good for ultra-light backpacking, but I don’t think there are many of you out there.”

Amy, Amazon Customer Review

“This product is very useful. The bottom compartment is very roomy, fits my sleeping bag, pillow, shoes and first aid kit with room to spare. The main compartment is also very spacious, fits clothes as well as cooking supplies.

The two top, two side, and cup holder pockets provide space for everything else. Straps outside the bag allow for tents, mattresses, and other bulky items to be attached with organized ease. Once filled, the backpack fits very comfortably, the hip-straps and back frame are easy to adjust. A wonderful pack.”

M Storrie, Amazon Customer Review

“I did a ton of research, and I can tell you that without question this is the ONLY pack to purchase if you only have $100 to spend. It’s highly flexible, can be reduced in weight by removing items that you determine you don’t want, and most important it’s incredibly durable and very comfortable to wear once properly set to your build.

NO brainer. Teton is the only brand for economy packs, and this is their best offering. I also own the Teton 3400, and it’s also a GREAT pack, but all things considered I wish I had bought two of these. But from Teton and you will not be sorry.”

Summary

Overall the Teton Sports Fox 5200 Internal Frame Backpack is great for your first pack and is perfect for backpacking in places like Yellow Stone. It could easily carry all you need for 2 people. It is built with quality in mind and has excellent back support and cushioning. Finally it is at a great price and has some awesome features.
